It's been a tough night for Dems in Appalachia [View all]

Although I have to say the results were not that unexpected.

If you had the ear of the Dem Party for even one night, what advice would you give TPTB on how to regain the confidence and votes of people in the region?

For this thread, only folks either living in/from Appalachia, please.
